Vim for C Programmers

Vim comes with rich help documentation. Type :help
from inside of Vim to browse it. To go to a particular topic,
press Ctrl-] on the turquoise-colored text. Vim's help documentation
uses the navigation mechanism we saw using tags.

Girish Venkatachalam loves to play with open-source operating systems,
such as OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Debian GNU/Linux. He also likes to go cycling when
not hacking. He can be contacted at girish1729@gmail.com.

I just wanted to add, for those who are new to vim, that most of the settings like "se nu" can be made to persist across logins by just putting that setting in .vimrc file in the user's home directory.
